Laser Hair Removal
Achieve Long-Lasting Hair Reduction with Clarity II
The Clarity II laser is designed to deliver fast, comfortable, and effective laser hair removal for all skin types, including darker or tanned skin. Using two laser wavelengths— 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd— the system precisely targets hair follicles, delivering energy that destroys the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
Key Benefits:
- Permanent Hair Reduction: After a series of treatments, patients experience long-lasting hair reduction in the treated areas.
- Safe for All Skin Types: The dual-wavelength technology ensures that both light and dark skin tones can be treated safely.
- Comfortable Sessions: The integrated Intelligent Cooling Device (ICD) minimizes discomfort by cooling the skin during the procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does it feel?
Patients report a mild “snapping” sensation, but the cooling system keeps discomfort to a minimum.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are required. Most patients need 5-7 sessions, spaced about 4-8 weeks apart for optimal, permanent hair reduction.
Which areas can be treated?
Clarity II can be used to remove unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body, including:
- Face
- Arms & legs
- Underarms
- Bikini area
- Back & chest
What can I expect post-treatment?
There may be slight redness or swelling immediately following treatment, but you can return to normal activities right away. Full results become visible after several weeks as treated hairs fall out and regrowth diminishes.
Treatment of Pigmented Lesions
Restore Even Skin Tone by Reducing Sunspots, Age Spots, and More
Clarity II's advanced laser technology can treat a variety of benign pigmented lesions, such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, and melasma. The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is especially effective in targeting melanin, breaking down excess pigment without damaging surrounding tissue.
Key Benefits:
- Precision: The laser targets pigmented areas while sparing healthy skin, resulting in smoother, more even skin tone.
- Minimal Downtime: Treatments are quick, and there is little to no recovery time.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for years.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does it feel?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, similar to the snap of a rubber band. The treatment is usually quick, lasting about 5-15 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on the type and severity of pigmentation, 1-3 sessions may be necessary.
What happens after treatment?
Pigmented lesions may darken for a few days before they naturally flake away, revealing lighter skin underneath. Full results appear over the following two to four weeks.
Redness and Vein Treatments
Reduce Redness, Spider Veins, and Broken Capillaries
Clarity II effectively treats vascular lesions, including facial redness, spider veins, and broken capillaries. The 1064 nm Nd laser targets veins deep within the skin, while the 755 nm Alexandrite laser works on superficial vessels, making this a comprehensive solution for visible veins and facial redness.
Key Benefits:
- Immediate and Gradual Results: Smaller veins may disappear immediately, while deeper veins and redness will fade over time.
- Safe and Gentle: Treatments are non-invasive and tailored to your skin type and concern.
- No Downtime: You can return to daily activities immediately following your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What areas can be treated?
Clarity II can be used to treat:
- Spider veins on the face or body
- Redness associated with rosacea
- Broken capillaries
- Vascular lesions such as cherry angiomas
How many treatments are needed?
Results vary based on the size and number of veins, but most patients benefit from 1-3 sessions.
Is there any recovery time?
You can resume normal activities immediately. There may be mild redness or bruising in the treated area, but it typically resolves within a few hours to days.
Skin Tightening & Toning
Revitalize Your Skin with Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Clarity II can also be used to enhance skin tone and texture through non-invasive laser skin tightening. The Nd laser (1064 nm) works by stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, which helps to tighten and firm sagging skin while improving overall texture.
Key Benefits:
- Tightens and Tones: Stimulates collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.
- Non-Surgical: Achieve noticeable results without surgery or downtime.
- Gradual Improvements: Skin texture and tone continue to improve over time as collagen levels increase.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does skin tightening work?
The laser heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production. Over time, the new collagen helps to lift and firm sagging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How long does it take to see results?
Results develop gradually over the course of several months. For optimal outcomes, a series of 3-5 treatments is usually recommended.
Which areas can be treated?
Clarity II is effective for tightening and toning the face, neck, and body—including areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Treatment of Lesions
Effectively Address Skin Lesions, Moles, and Other Imperfections
For patients with benign skin lesions such as seborrheic keratoses, warts, and skin tags, Clarity II provides a non-invasive solution. The 1064 nm laser can be used to treat lesions, reducing their appearance without surgery.
Key Benefits:
- Precise and Effective: The laser targets lesions while sparing surrounding skin.
- Quick and Comfortable: Treatments are short, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
- Safe for All Skin Types: The dual-wavelength system ensures safe and effective treatments across all skin tones.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How does lesion treatment work?
The laser targets the pigmented or vascular lesion, breaking down the tissue without damaging surrounding skin. Over time, the lesion is reabsorbed by the body or flakes away naturally.
How many treatments are needed?
In most cases, 1-2 sessions are sufficient for complete removal, though this depends on the size and depth of the lesion.
Is there any downtime?
There is typically no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
